What travellers are saying
- Giulia80ZAmsterdam, The Netherlands1Â 634 contributionsIt is an amazing day out for the kids. We were there with friends, so 2 kids of 4.5 yr and 2 of 2.5 yr. Some attractions, like the walking dinos, might be a bit scary for the youngest, but there is plenty to do and discover for everyone. The kids enjoyed a lot also the minigolf. The park can get pretty hot, I would have appreciated some more water-games / small pool to refresh (there is only one water-game, which didn't look really any fun, plus it comes with extra cost.). The dino lunch box is also very nice.Written 10 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- LiefhebberBreda, The Netherlands7Â 601 contributionsThe Weerribben-Wieden National Park, with over 10,000 hectares, is the largest continuous low peat bog area in northwestern Europe. A labyrinth of ponds and lakes. We started by boat at the picturesque town of Giethoorn. There are several boatroutes. Beautiful and tranquil once you are out in the open and leaving Giethoorn because this place can be too crowded. A must do!Written 6 November 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- ArjanS87Hendrik-Ido-Ambacht, The Netherlands88 contributionsWe were attracted to this museum mostly due to the forest experience they have for (small) kids, but the inside of the museum is however also very well done.
Throughout some dioramas, but also separate cabinets a very broad display of forest animals can be seen, that one can.. but likely will not see in the woodlands around the museum.
It turned out very educational for children as well and the children's quest they implemented, it remained interactive for both young kids (3 & 5 yo).
The outside forest trail with frog-themed activities finished it all off.Written 26 August 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It's not big but certainly worth visiting with kidsWritten 16 November 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It is a fine English landscape style park which makes you feel you are in nature, while in fact the groups of trees and waterbodies have been carefully planned. Many people perhaps do not notice their experience of nature is a bit of an illusion. Still a pleasant place to relax with old trees, an impressive six sculpture war memorial and a high fountain.
Despite a lot of park space is paved, bicycles are not allowed. The fences are unpleasant, not exactly inviting people to come in. Many locals were walking their dogs when I visited.Written 26 November 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The paths are very well marked and there are several places to sit down and eat or drink.Written 14 September 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Emma EUtrecht, The Netherlands495 contributionsThis lovely little park was just the ticket on a cold Autumn day. The trees were so incredibly beautiful and laid out so lovely it was glorious. It takes very little time to walk around but if you stop and really immerse yourself in the sights, sounds, and smells of the place you can happily give your soul a boost and fill an hour or two.Written 20 October 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- MiyeloDrenthe56 contributionsWe decided we’d take a boat trip one week after the summer holidays had ended. We didn’t want to be in Giethoorn, even though that’s beautiful as well, because we were really looking forward to a quiet trip in nature. And that’s exactly what we got. We only met about four other boats/kayaks during our trip. Highly recommendable when you want to avoid the crowds.Written 2 October 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Solodam JAmsterdam, The Netherlands35Â 357 contributionsWe visited this zoo with some friends. It is a small zoo but it has some animals that you can't find it in other zoo, even the bigger one. For example, 'Loewak' ( civet cat), the one kind that produce the most expensive coffee in the world, Kopi Luwak. You can also enjoy the Indonesian food in the 'Waroeng Makanan' (restaurant) and also get Indonesian souvenir.Written 6 November 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- André BRotterdam, The Netherlands174 contributionsThe Archemerberg is one of the most beautiful nature reserves in the province of Overijssel. Very beautiful views, beautiful sloping heaths and dense forests. If you are lucky you will also encounter the sheep herd.Written 8 August 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Mattia MArcore, Italy44 contributionsThe park is located right outside Zwolle and it’s a nice place where to walk.

- Solodam JAmsterdam, The Netherlands35Â 357 contributionsThe park is located outside the town centre of Zwolle. It's quite big green park for various activities. The petting zoo corner is for the young kids. There is also playground with climbing and slides and on the other side, there is sport park with skate park and basket ball court. We can see a historical dike "Marsdijk" from 1311. It's a nice park with a pond and good walking path, wheelchair accessibleWritten 1 July 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- 301lisa33Coventry, UK1Â 906 contributionsThis park is not particularly big but offers many walking, cycling or horseriding routes. Water activities are possible also. There are also a range of organised 'formal' activity options too. But this range of activities manage to co-exist without interfering with one another.

- Solodam JAmsterdam, The Netherlands35Â 357 contributionsMien Ruys was famous as a Landscape & Garden Architect. This garden was created in her hometown, Dedemsvaart. It's quite big area with different kind of style and flowers / plants, lots of artwork scattered al over the garden. We saw some special flowers ( at least for us as we've never seen them before). It's recommended visiting this garden if you're in the neighbourhood.Written 1 July 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
